Intentions Rather Than Resolutions

Ahh, the season of new beginnings. With the new year brings the opportunity and desire to make all things new. The chance to improve upon what you feel needs to be made better. The freedom to make over your room, your health, your life – whatever you deem necessary.

When we flip the calendar to January all things come anew again. But why? We know that come January 1st we are going to make resolutions with hopes for a better future for ourselves and our families. Some of us will actually stick to these resolutions and be very successful in our desire to change something. However, most of us will not – and that’s ok!

So, we propose this. Rather than focusing on those resolutions to lose weight, save money, and climb that mountain; how about we instead create intentions and celebrate who we are? Let’s create intentions to be grateful, to be present, and to be a better us. Rather than beating ourselves up about our waistlines, let’s celebrate the meals we’ve spent with family and friends! Let’s create intentions to really listen to each other rather than just hearing one another. Let’s live life with intentions rather than resolutions and see what 2017 brings us!
